Dead end road at Inverie on the west coast Knoydart peninsula, Inverness-shire. SCO 5367
Inverie is a village in the Scottish Highlands. It is located on the remote Knoydart Peninsula, an area of wilderness and great natural beauty which is on the west coast of Scotland, just north of Mallaig. Knoydart is renowned for its remoteness, and visitors come here to enjoy the tranquility of a remote location. There are no roads to Inverie so you have two options to get there: a 2-day hike from the nearest mainland road across country, which will require wild camping; you will be in a wilderness so a tent and some survival skills are required. There is no mobile phone reception on the peninsula. a 30-minute boat ride from Mallaig. Boats run three times a week - Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. There is normally a morning and an afternoon service on these days, so it is possible to do a day trip to Inverie, returning to Mallaig in the afternoon, but if you miss the ferry, you're stuck there for two days! In summer, the service is extended to Tuesday and Thursdays. The loch is quite sheltered so crossings are usually relatively smooth in these small boats. Services are operated by Bruce Watt cruises and are advertised on the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry network (Mallaig-Loch Nevis service). This boat is what the locals rely on - as well as some tourists the boat also carries locals, their grocery shopping and the post for the peninsula. If you plan to visit from Edinbugh or Glasgow, it is likely that you will have to stay overnight in Mallaig or somewhere in the Highlands in order to make the ferry. Given the limited ferry times, it is important that you have a copy of the ferry timetable with you and plan your visit in advance. he main attractions of Knoydart are peace and quiet. Activities are walking the local countryside and visiting the local pub in the evening. Visitors staying a bit longer can arrange to do an RYA boat handling course, go fishing or visit the islands; take a ranger-guided tour of the area or Deer Stalking.
